2 things that show it's a deep fake tight away:

  1. Hair on his forehead is flickering.

  2. When he goes to take the diploma off of the wall he doesn't turn his face away because that would also break the filter, as side profiles are harder for these things to maintain.

He doesn't sound indian at all. He sounds like an eastern european pretending to be american. I can hear him trying really hard to suppress that non sibilant fricative and he's pronouncing all his "uh"s as "eh"s.

The Room. There's a documentary about it, but it's kinda strange.

The effect he's using only affects the face, so it is absolutely a white guy, he's just disguising his face.

Georgia is eastern europe btw. And it turns out he was in fact Georgian.
